Caldera's ambition is to become the 'collaborative infrastructure' of the Ethereum Rollup ecosystem. It does not compete with a single chain, but instead builds a 'connection layer' with Metalayer: allowing different frameworks and scenarios of Rollups to collaborate within the security framework of Ethereum. Developers working on DeFi Rollups can use Metalayer to interface with assets from other chains; those creating metaverse chains can share ecological resources. The token anchors the ecological operations (trading, security, governance), giving this infrastructure the power to operate 'autonomously'. As Ethereum's scaling shifts from a 'competition of chain quantity' to a 'battle of collaborative efficiency', the value of Caldera's infrastructure will become increasingly prominent. What it aims to do is make the entire Rollup ecosystem more efficient and interconnected.
